The Fancy Haircut

It's been a battle every day this summer to try to comb through that gorgeous honey-colored hair of Alice's.  She says she prefers it long and tangled.  I tackle her and drag a comb through the mess on days we have to get out, but honestly-there are some days a brush doesn't even get close. 

With those terribly early school mornings fast approaching I thought I'd better make life a little easier on us.  It was time for a trim.  She was not on board.  I tried convincing her that she needed a "Snow White" hair cut for her birthday party.  I even said she could get a Dora hair cut!  (barf)  But she still wanted it long like Rapunzel's.  So we compromised with a trim-and a super fancy kids hair salon. 





Good Times with Das-The Austin Zoo!

Those snow cones actually were worth the $8 we paid for them-it was getting so hot.

 Our new favorite place ever-Josie's Frozen Yogurt
The Peach got "pink & brown squirrel" with "rainbow cheerios".

Das and I had honeydew sorbet-yuuuuuuuuuuuuum!!!

Have you noticed this precious new picture taking habit of Alice's?  She tilts her head and does this fancy princess hand pose.  So lovely, and a little over-dramatic.  Hey, that's my girl!


Celebrating Lily

Alice made a birthday card for Lily.





Alice and Jude's big sister, Lily, would have been 5 years old this summer.  We spent the day in San Marcos remembering her on July 31st.
